Thanks to our prof Kai, TA Dana, and classmates. I had an amazing experience in 430 this semester. When the term just started, I could not imagine what a 3h class would look like, but actually, every week’s topic is closely related to the problems we are facing currently, and the videos and slides for each week are super informative, I would keep them forever I think and recommend to anyone who wants to know more on a topic.
From 430, I realized that everyone has the potential to change, and our prof has introduced us to lots of channels and resources to do it. I think in the future, I will retain the habits learned from our class, planned obsolescence, never using single-use plastic bags, and rewinding nature just from the land I stood at. I will also continue posting and responding in cosphere and wait for the follow-ups of the final projects we each made.
Absolutely agree with you Bellie. I am definitely more aware of the single-use products in my daily life because of 430.
Certainly true, the videos and readings were actually a good mix between informative learning and entertainment and therefore easy to recommend to a friend.
Hi Bellie, we should all give up our bad habits. I also feel that people are capable of making changes for the future. Our active discussions really make me feel like that.
I agree that the pre-lecture videos really helped us further understand the lecture content so that we werent going in as a blank state!
I agree with you that this course brought me not only academic discussions about environmental sustainability, but also a future approach to change and a hopeful outlook on future sustainability.
Great to hear the things you have taken away from the course! I was also worried about how the class would be structured given it was 3 hours long, but found that time went by very quickly!
Hi Bellie, I felt the same way! I definitely left this course feeling more hopeful and empowered to make change for the future. Thank you for sharing!
Great reflection! I agree that the videos for the class were informative and personally they were quite enjoyable to watch.
